10 Claims.

My invention relates to gloves and its novelty consists in theadaptation and combination of parts as will be more fully hereinafterpointed out.

There have been many women who wished to purchase long gloves for dailyuse which came well up on the arms but have felt that they could notalord them as they were not adapted to use With most of their costumes.

My invention overcomes this great objection to the daily use of the longglove and makes it practicable for the first time with any and allcostumes by making the length adjustable in a practical and attractivemanner.

Referring to the drawing- Figure 1 is a top plan view of the front of myright hand glove in the full extended position;

Figure 2 is a top plan view of the front of my left hand glove With theglove in the shortened and shirred position; and

Figure 3 is a longitudinal cross section on the line 3 3 of Figure 1.

In the drawing of my glove which is stitched together in the usual wayat I8, 4 is the hand portion of my glove and 5 and 5a are the armportions. On the underside of the arm portions 5 and 5?- designated as 6and Sa respectively are stitched at 1 pockets 8 and 8a respectivelyforming decorative members 9 on the outer faces 5 and 5.

In the pocket 8 are mounted two draw strings IU and II which arestitched at one end to the base of said pocket at I2 and pass outthrough an opening I3 in the arm portion 5 at their opposite ends andsaid strings IO and II terminate in stitched coils I4 and I5 which serveas grips for pulling as well as decoratively. ,On the underside of 5a issimilarly stitched pocket 8a and draw strings Ilia and I Ia are mountedtherein and are stitched at one end to the base of said pocket at I2aand pass through the Opening I'ta at the opposite end and terminate institched coils Ne and I5fl.

The Operation of my glove is very simple and when it is desired toshorten the front section of my glove so that it will not go up onto thearm the draw strings II] and II can be pulled .by taking hold of thestitched coils M and I5 and pulling thereon which will pull the armportion 5 of the glove from the base I2 so as to draw the upper armportion 5 toward the hand portion 4 efiecting a shirring of the armportion 5 as shown in Fig. 2 and substantially shortening the armportion 5 by means of the shirring IB shown in Fig. 2. i

The back section of 5 may be shortened and shirred in a similar mannerby pulling on draw strings IIIa and Ila effecting the pull at IZa andthe draw strings [Da and IIa may be fastened together in the same manneras shown at I'I lin Fig.`2 so thatcthe glove will be secured in theshortened position and the decorative shirring IS maintained inposition.

It will be noted that I9 is merely decorative stitching.

It will be apparent that this shortening may be done and then knots tiedeither before or after the gloves are put on by the wearer, but that inorder to secure perfect uniformity and the best result in appearanceboth the front and the back sections 5 and 5fl' should both be shortenedin each glove.

Variations may be made in the Structure as shown and described withoutdeparting from the spirit and intent of my invention.

It will be understood that my gloves may be made of leather, fabric, acombination of these two or of any other material adapted for makinggloves and may bemade in all colors available in such materials.
